Accessibility

1. Introduction

Visit Angus is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We aim to meet the requirements set forth by the Equality Act 2010 and strive to make our website as accessible as possible in line with best practices and standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA.

This accessibility statement outlines the efforts we have made to ensure our website is accessible, as well as providing guidance on how you can contact us if you encounter accessibility issues.

2. Accessibility Features

We are actively working to improve the accessibility of our website by adopting the following practices:

• Text Alternatives: We aim to provide text alternatives (alt text) for all non-text content (such as images, diagrams, and icons) to ensure that content is accessible to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse, to ensure that users with motor impairments can easily access content and functionality.
• Readable Fonts and Colour Contrast: We use fonts and colours that have sufficient contrast to make content easier to read for users with visual impairments.
• Clear Layout and Navigation: The structure of the website is organised with clear headings and navigational elements to help users easily find information.
• Text Resizing: Our website supports the ability to increase or decrease text size without loss of content or functionality.

3. Ongoing Improvements

We are committed to continuous improvement in the accessibility of our website. While we have taken steps to comply with the WCAG 2.1 guidelines, we understand that no website can be fully perfect in accessibility. We regularly review our website and test it using various accessibility tools, and we welcome feedback from users to help us enhance the site further.

4. Limitations

Despite our best efforts, there may be some content on our website that does not fully meet accessibility requirements due to:

• The use of third-party tools or content that we do not control, such as embedded media or third-party widgets.
• Legacy content that may not yet be fully optimised for accessibility.

We are working to address these limitations and ensure that our website meets the highest standards of accessibility.
